Skill Point Redistribution

[Bryan Handy]

In terms of skill point redistribution, what exactly is the special, besides the obvious commander XP offset, and how long until this ends "in a few minutes" despite the incentive being permanent?
It seems vague and in keeping with the company's often confusing interpretations.

I have never seen that 'special' offer before.

Not sure what we're seeing there, but I think there was a "special" on doubloons to fxp conversion and since you've inadvertently got dubs and fxp in there, it may be related to that.

I see the special was also set to expire imminently, so can't check it now 🙂

The first and second screenshot are both referencing a 17pt commander aboard Le Fantasque 12 games apart, so the commander XP has accumulated from playing RN DDs actually. Oddly, the expiry time seems to infinity and beyond.
Puzzling. Our 14.0 update is hours away at the time of writing. It may be related to the christmas events.

I don't get it. Its not discounting the commander XP required, its just filling in the missing cxp with free xp. How is that special?

I have never seen this before and I will be honest I have no knowledge on this.

When I read your first post, I was mentally wondering just how many skill points the commander in question had.
Now, thanks to your quoted post, I know we are discussing 17 skill points.

The numbers in your screenshot indicate you don't have enough CXP (blue numbers) to pay for the "reset" of that Commander's skills.
So, the game offers you the option to use a combination of CXP and FreeXP to pay for the "reset", or, the option of using doubloons to pay for the "reset".

If you really really want to reset this Commander, my suggestion would be to pay the doubloons price.
You have more of a surplus of doubloons, when compared with your inventory of EliteCommanderXP and FreeXP.

If you are merely exploring your options, then hopefully I've provided enough information for you to make a decision.
